For example, if weapons are legal one moment, and become illegal because a president makes a new law, it would be unfair for cops to instantly go inside a gun store and arrest the gun dealer without giving him a few minutes to abide by the law and close the store. (IRL laws come into effect a while after they are announced not just appear out of thin air one day and come into effect immediately)
So can I be punished for arresting someone for a new law without allowing a grace period before hand?

No. It is not a listed rule and we can't enforce it. It would be a suggestion more than anything.

I would imagine if a staff member were to enforce something unwritten like a grace period that they would simply stop the RP situation and tell the police that they cannot arrest person X (or unarrest them if they were arrested) but not issue a punishment as the grace period is not officially written anywhere nor has been commonly enforced.
So, no you shouldn't normally be punished for it, at least not while it remains entirely unwritten.
That said, if there is more to it, for example if you ask a president to change the law just so you can immediately arrest someone, the answer might be different.

I feel like i am doing good stuff and not bad stuff but i still get in trouble cause the admin says i have to "go back to fearRP" after i already broke it by removing line of sight.
i follow written rules, they make up some bullshit
Can you explain this situation in detail?
my UBLR was already denied so no use. basically, when I got out of my car, I got out through the normal door, and I was out of sight of everyone. a badmin claimed I have to go back and turn myself into the cops since they had guns on me before I got out. line of sight was broken by solid cover, but I have to give myself in cause the cops had terrible tactics.
the BL reason itself contained a bunch of bullshit too "leaving vehicle under gunpoint", well yes, if a cop is holding a gun towards me, and tells me to get out, I am gonna fucking get out. "opening fire due to temporary loss of sight", i was completely covered by 2 different solid covers, a wall and a huge ass communist truck. "Breaking FearRP", I got out of the car into a spot where the cops couldn't see me so, according to the admins, the game broke fearRP for me so I had to go back to the cops and say here I am, arrest me cause I got out of the door that was closest to me. It was a bunch of unwritten bullshit that has never been enforced.

Yea, I didn't agree with that either. It is the shooter's job to cover those exit points.

Then nobody will say anything about what happened and he will just go away with the kill , if its IC So I believe It should be OOC.
+ He might say "I didn't do it" to the president and he will not be demoted it happens all time when someone talk to president he say "I will talk to him" and nothing ..

To be blunt, i do feel far more situations need to be allowed to be handled in character.

Nice to see y'all still can't take a joke lmao
But since making jokes is a crime here, let's get serious:
It's a fallacy in itself to call out a fallacy and treat an argument as invalid because of it
Bringing that up is, actually, relevant to the subject
Instead of trying to hide it either:
A) Admit that you were wrong and vow to make efforts to change the way you operate
B) Stick to it and continue to operate in this manner, but don't try to hide it like you're ashamed of it. It reflects and while the actions might not be, the shame you're operating with is visible to everyone. A shameful staff team makes for a shameful server
